Clustered column chart sorting values

I have question on clustered column chart. I am comparing data from two year 2016 and 2015. It would be logical to have the 2016 value presented as the 1st bar. The visual however shows previous year as the 1st column. How can I sort columns as required?

Generally you would click on the ellipses and click the "Year" column to reverse the sort.

Sorry, what do you mean by clicking on the ellipses?

In Clustered column chart, we are not able to sort the bar. When we create the chart, the 2015 value presented as the 1st bar automatically.
